Slot machines policy

Slot machines can only be listed in areas where it is legal for them to be owned by both the seller and buyer, unless they are non-functional.

As the sale and ownership of slot machines is restricted by some state laws, it's important to follow our guidelines.

What is the policy?

  • Functioning slot machines must be legal to sell in a seller's location, and need to exclude shipping details from any location where it is not legal for them to be sold
  • A slot machine may be listed if it meets one of these requirements:
    • Does not accept currency
    • Is non-functional and built for display purposes
    • Has been permanently altered so it can't accept currency and can't be converted into an operational slot machine

Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.
